Misawa Airport is served by Japan Air Lines, which offers domestic service from Haneda Airport in Tokyo. Towada Kanko Bus runs an hourly bus service from the airport to Misawa's train station.
By train
Misawa is a stop on the private Aoimori Railway. It was served previously by local JR trains until the Tohoku Shinkansen extension to Aomori opened in December, 2010.
The fastest way to get to Misawa from Tokyo is to take the Tohoku Shinkansen Hayate service to Hachinohe (�15350), where you can change to the Aoimori Railway for the run to Misawa (20 minutes, �550). With good connections the one-way trip will take about 3 hours, 45 minutes. Foreign tourists will find it cheaper to use the JR East Rail Pass or the national Japan Rail Pass, but note that the rail pass will not cover the Aoimori Railway.
By bus
An overnight bus service is offered from Tokyo to Hachinohe (9 hours, �9500), from which Misawa is a 20-minute ride on the Aoimori Railway
